Paulos, a prisoner of Y'shua the Mashiyach, and Timotheos the brother, to Philimon the beloved and our fellow laborer,

and to Apphia our beloved, and to Arkippos our fellow laborer, and to the assembly that is in your house.

Grace be with you, and peace, from Elohim our Father and from our Master Y'shua the Mashiyach.

I give thanks to my Elohim at all times, and I remember you in my prayers,

since I heard of your faith and of the love you have toward our Master Y'shua and toward all the holy ones,

that the fellowship of your faith may yield fruit in works and in the knowledge of every good thing that is yours in Y'shua the Mashiyach.

For we have much joy and consolation, because by your love the mercies of the holy ones have been refreshed.

Therefore I have much boldness in the Mashiyach to enjoin on you the things that are right.

But for love’s sake I rather beseech you, I Paulos who am aged as you know, and now also a prisoner of Y'shua the Mashiyach.

And I beseech you for my son, whom I begot in my bonds, Onesimus,

who formerly was of no use to you, but now is very useful both to you and to me.

And I have sent him to you. But you receive him as my own begotten.

For I was wanting to keep him with me, that he might serve me in your place in the bonds of the gospel.

But without your counsel I did not want to do anything, so that your good would not be as by compulsion, but by your will.

Perhaps also for this reason he was separated for a time, that you might keep him forever,

no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a beloved brother to me, how much more to you, both in the flesh and in our Master.

If then you are a partner with me, receive him as me.

And if he has wronged you in anything, or owes, charge this to me.

I, Paulos, have written it with my own hand. I will repay—not to say to you that you even owe me your own self.

Yes, my brother, let me be refreshed by you in our Master. Refresh my bowels in the Mashiyach.

Because I am confident that you will listen to me, I have written to you, and I know that you will do more than I say.

And at the same time also prepare a lodging for me, for I hope that through your prayers I will be given to you.

Epaphras, a fellow captive with me in Y'shua the Mashiyach, greets you,

and Marqos and Aristarkos and Dema and Luqa, my helpers.

The grace of our Master Y'shua the Mashiyach be with your spirit. Amen.
